Yeah. It's crazy how much fear of Detroit there is. Irrational fear, based of no actual experience, only what has been told to these people. Have they ever lived here? People aren't getting murdered randomly. Most violent crime is between people that know each other --domestic violence and drug related violence. Most of these crimes would go away if we people had jobs, and the economy was equitable and democratic.

And as far as people who have lived here, I know quality of life here is not that fantastic, there are lots of problems. But problems don't go away by moving away. We have a culture that encourages people to leave the city, instead of staying and helping rebuild it. Make this the city you always wanted. Join a movement for a just and democratic future, so that there will be no more crime and no more abandonment. Violence isn't stopped by more violence [[crime isn't stopped by police), it is stopped by uprooting the violent system and replacing it with something more humane.
